Gaming Experience - XBOX 360 Slim 4GB Kinect Bundle

I never buy any gaming console and in my life, I never really a gamer. In the old days, as far as I can remember I did only play Warcraft on PC (still not console). Specifically DoTa map and that’s all! That was in 2005 – 2008. Dated earlier, I really have no experience with game console or gaming in general.

In 2009, I got a PSP courtesy to lucky draw during one of company dinner. I got stuck to it for a while and that doesn’t last long. I just play PSP casually.

For quite a while, my wife always mention how great is her experience playing Wii. She would love to have Wii but I just keep silent. I’ve tried Wii once in 2008 when a friend bought it. I don’t think Wii is any better compare to Kinect as Kinect don’t require any remote control. Full body tracking is so much better, right?

With surprise, I bought this from Play Asia last December for my wife birthday (yeah, together for me to play) and it comes well packaged. As I don’t own any previous console, my first impression is that it’s quite big for such a ‘Slim’ name.

As of now, we only has Kinect Adventures which comes in the package and additional Kinect Sports.

I find that I love Kinect Sports so much and realize I’m the one who ended up play it more compare to my wife.

 

Still waiting for Dance Central and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved to arrived. This really take a long time. :(

Friend’s Weddings

Last year mark as the year most of my friends getting married and most of it clashed with each other. I had the chance to attend only a few.

All the weddings that I attended are really lovely. Each of them are wonderful!

Khairil & Zaiti – The couple looks really like king and queen of a kingdom on the day! All hails!

Fiza & Spouse - The wedding really shows the tradition with martial arts and the striking red theme. A warrior indeed.

Fadhil & Intan – The wedding is soft, easy to the eyes and calm.

Amirul & Nadia - The most unique wedding I ever attended. The color combination is rare! I hardly find any wedding with nice brown theme.

Pending Edit and Publish

Finally! I just finished browsing through the stack of photos shot past few months. With that I realized there are too many sessions still pending for edit and publish.

Let’s listed them down first (without any particular order)

• Weddings (I’ve attended quite a number of friend’s wedding namely Kerel, Intan and Fiza)
• Kellies Castle, Ipoh
• Teluk Batik, Lumut
• XBOX Kinect
• KL Bird Park, Kuala Lumpur
• Lake Garden (Taman Tasik Perdana), Kuala Lumpur

Phewwww! That’s really a long list to complete, but let’s see how fast I can do it.

Oh, which one should I start with first?

 

p.s. Life is just so wonderful, but you won’t know about it until you found some misery.

Beginning of 2011

Is it something to look forward to? Sure.

How was is so far? Not so good.

What do you wish for? I hardly have any new year resolution thingy.

____

That’s all a little update for new year. And again I changed back to previous theme. Old habit hard to let go right? I still fond to the concept of ‘one column big picture’ layout.

It’s easy to the eye, attractive, and self satisfying! And the most important of all is the last one. :P

I guess I’ll start over (not so much of start over, just to be more active) in photography. I found that I’ve left it for quite some times. I still hold my camera once in a while, but nothing serious.

And with this come back of previous theme, I hope I can post more of a quality pictures.

 

And let’s hope. Amin.

p.s. Generally there’s no such things as bad job, only bad attitude. But then the job still sucks rite?

Bali, Indonesia Trip – Day 4 & Day 5

Here comes the best part of it. Or maybe the worst part of it? HAHA!

On the forth day, we spend the day doing water sports. We did parasailing, flying fish and snorkeling. In addition to the package, there is so call glass bottom boat tour and turtle island visit.

It’s my first time for all the activities and I would say it did turn out so bad. Parasailing and flying fish is all great but my day just ruined because of the snorkel. I had hard time snorkel as the wave is quite harsh and the water is not clear.

I ended up feeling dizzy. And that’s all for my day. But the trip actually didn’t end just yet. We still has glass bottom boat and turtle island visit in schedule.

Glass bottom boat and turtle island visit is really frustrating. The so call glass bottom boat is actually the same boat that we ride for snorkel. Yes, the bottom of the boat has glass that can see through but thanks to the bad water, we hardly see anything underneath it.

The turtle island is nothing spectacular. It’s actually not a landing spot for turtle to hatch their eggs. It’s more of a place artificially made to exhibit turtle for tourism sake. I don’t know if others really believe in that crap or it’s us who don’t know how to appreciate things.

I believe turtle center in Malaysia do provide much more REAL experience than here. Furthermore, it’s not really an island of turtles! They just take us on a ride with boat to the other side of the land. What a scam!

Okay, I really don’t have any photo to show you all. Thanks again to the dizziness after snorkeling.

Overall? That’s not a good day for me but parasailing definitely GREAT! Just that I wish it can be longer. A very short fly.

And I guess that sums up the trip to Bali. Day 5? We spend the day at the villa and relax before check out. :P

p.s. I’m not sure if I ever want to go there again. Maybe not.

Bali, Indonesia Trip – Day 3

I’m getting lazy to update about Bali trip. But here comes the installment number 3.

On the second day, we decided to hire local tour guide for tour to Kintamani Volcano. They claim it’s something not to be missed once in Bali. We thought, why not since we already here and don’t know what to do right? So here we are on the third day. Touring Bali.

For USD30, we got private tour local tour guide, private car, with everything covered includes parking, fees, etc. In addition it’s not just Kintamani Volcano tour, it’s also a lot of stop by to Barong & Keris Dance, visit to silver and gold processing village, wood carving village, luwak (fox) coffee processing village, terrace paddy sight seeing and Obyek Wisata Temple.

In each village there are lot of same processing center next to each other. When they say it’s wood carving village, you really got to see wood carving center everywhere along the road.

Barong & Keris Dance

We have to pay some extra fees to enter here because it’s not included in the package. Just because it’s on the way and we thought maybe we give it a try since Barong & Keris Dance quite famous here more or less like Kecak Dance famous.

Clear View

I like it after rain. The view from my office is very breath taking. I can see to the farthest possible view.




Otherwise it will always full of fogs and dust.
